NOT HAVE CANCER (read all 15 entries…)
No matter how much you prepare 11 months ago

how much you read, how much you think you know what it will be like, it’s always so much worse.

Your kind words...

You have no idea how much they mean to me.

I’m so glad you didn’t run away to a more positive thread. Your words were a wonderful gift. Thank you.

I have no cheers

to give, only admiration and love.

As has previously been said, what shines through from this photo is you, beautiful and mentally and emotionally strong.

Thank you hugely for sharing your entries here.

Goddamn it, Chewie...

My first reaction was to see if I could cheer you up by photoshopping some different funny looking hair on you.

And then I thought at the very least you should have some photoshop goggles whilst you’re bald.

And then it flooded thru me that this isn’t funny, I can’t make it funny, and shouldn’t try.

And, besides…I’m finding that it’s almost impossible to see thru these fucking tears.

But…

Kristin is right, you know. You are stunning.

I know that sounds like bullshit and, frankly, if you were ugly I’d probably lie to you about it, just to make you feel better. But have I not always told you I thought you were lovely? I still do…just…now you look…softer, maybe.

Smooch, Chewie.

I’ve always loved your honesty.
I love you, Unc.
Thank you.

I love you too, sweetie.

Smooch.

Oh Sweetest of hearts

I wish I could take you in my arms and hold you and make this all just go the fuck away.

I know I can’t do that and I know how hard this is on you. I also know just how strong you are to go through it ever day.

No matter how often you want to give up and say, “enough is just fuckin’ enough” you stay strong and endure. I am so proud of you Lisa. I’m impressed and in Awe of the woman you are.

I’m going to say this and I hope that if I say something out of line you will forgive me Darlin’

Mama is with you baby, she is holding you when the tears feel like they will never end, she is rocking you when the sickness just won’t let you rest. She is walking each step beside you. Smiling at ever thing you do, because she knows the strength of spirit of her daughter. I know this is the hardest thing you’ve ever gone through, love.

You will get through this, it will end and you will triumph over it, you are going to touch so many lives, as you have already. I wish there was something I could do or say that would make it all better.

I love you Lisa and I am praying and sending healing, strength to you.

Thanks, Seren

I love you too.
You could never say anything wrong or out of line, because you speak from the heart.

You know…I have wakened up with the lullabye my mom used to sing to me when I was little in my head for the last couple of weeks. Almost like she is here, watching over me. So your comment isn’t out of line at all.

Thank you for the kind words :)

~*Serenity*~ ... Smiles...

OH I am so thankful

I was a little worried but you are right sweetie, I do speak from the heart and what I feel I tend to tell.

See?

I told you that you were beautiful and nothing could touch that.

It’s stunning to me how furious I am at this cancer. It boils up in me and I do my darndest to convert it to love and send it out into the world. I fucking HATE this.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it now. This will end. You will not. We love you, honey.

Thanks, Ti

I was angry for a while, too.
I feel like that’s been beaten out of me (maybe chemically)

I appreciate all the support you send my way, here and on facebook and through the cosmos :)

Much love back at ya.

That is a great picture, GitC

Best thoughts for you, always.

I've been staring

at this page for about 10 minutes… trying to think of what to say or if I should say anything at all. All I can think of to say is that you’re beautiful, brave, amazing… I thought so before and almost told you once… sorry I waited. I’m praying for you. (((hugs)))

Thanks, Mooniebutt

I hesitated showing this picture…my natural instinct is to hide, to not leave the house, to cover it with a wig. To expose myself like this was so hard (aren’t we always selecting good photos of ourselves and using those as our avatars, isn’t that just natural for us?)

I just stopped caring about being judged by (lack of) beauty, and thought, this is honesty, and surely someone will appreciate that.

I’m honored that you took the time to write me such kind words. Thank you :)

Seems like we all

appreciate that. I’m honored by your reply. Not sure why but it made me cry too. Thinkin’ about you a lot. xo

what everyone else said...

You’re beautiful, girl! Hair or no hair. I wish you could see yourself through our loving, admiring eyes, and I wish we could take all the struggle and pain and yuckness off your hands. You are the best.

It's all

been said so succinctly by everyone else here, and I echo every comment. You really are so amazing, strong, beautiful, honest ….

{{{{{Girlinthecurl}}}}}

((((((LISA))))))

You are beautiful – mind, body and soul.

Thank you so much

I only wonder how this could be brave or how I could be strong.

You all think these things about me? I feel so small these days, so cowardly…I’m only doing what must be done, what anyone else would do.

But your words make me feel wonderful—thank you. I hope someday I can turn all of this around to help someone else.

Thank you :)
